Ph.D. Student, Theological Studies

My research brings theological anthropology into conversation with trauma, addiction, embodied desire, habit formation, narrative, and neuroplasticity. I welcome conversations with scholars and practitioners working across theology, philosophy, and the human sciences.

Disordered Desire and the Recovery of the Self: A Constructive Theological Response to Trauma and Addiction
